In front of the main hall of Xuanmiao Pavilion, there are still Taoist priests coming and going, cultivating in the Taoist temple, in addition to their daily homework, reading books should be their only hobby after school.

After the inspection, Chen Yi slowly entered the library inside the main hall, even if he had been here once before, but when he came again, he still sighed at the huge project of this mysterious pavilion.

Walking slowly in the passage, this passage allows the two of them to pass through guò together, and some oncoming Taoist priests will nod lightly when they meet Chen Yi, and then turn sideways to let him pass guò first.

In this regard, Chen Yi expressed his gratitude one by one, and soon came to the borrowing desk in the library, looked inside, he smiled helplessly, what the Taoist Master said was really true, the only thing he did when he returned to the Xuanmiao Pavilion was to sleep, and he was still asleep holding his tea leaves.

Chen Yi put his book on the table with the sign of the last time Wuzhen Dao Chang Institute, and a Taoist priest working inside immediately took Chen Yi's brand and books, looked at the books on the table, and checked them one by one, which can be said to be exactly the same as the way to borrow books outside, except that there are no modern facilities.

And at this time, Wu Zhendao, who was sleeping on the table, moved his nose, as if he smelled something, and then opened his eyes in a hurry, and when he saw Chen Yi, he suddenly woke up and smiled, "Chen boy, you come to read again." ”

"Enlightenment is long, knowledge is power, it can change the world, if you don't read books, how can you know the world." Chen Yi smiled slightly, some famous antique appraisal collectors in history are all knowledgeable people, and they can leave their own appraisal seals on well-known antiques. It can be entirely with knowledge. Success is built up by experience.

"You're so young. I understand this truth, very good, haha, I have the best Tieguanyin here, as for the tea set, boiling water, on call, do you want to make a pot of tea. Watch as you go. Wu Zhendao looked surprised, and then said with the tea leaves on the table.

Chen Yi looked at the tea leaves, and then looked at the environment, but shook his head with a smile, "Enlightened Truth Daoist, making tea here, it is estimated that the entire place where the books are collected will be filled with the fragrance of tea, and there will inevitably be water mist when making tea, which will have an impact on the protection of books." I just drank twenty bowls of Tieguanyin in the morning, haven't you enjoyed it now? ”

He estimated that this old way was just joking. There are only a few simple cups here, and there is no tea set, otherwise, even if this old Taoist can't make tea, it is absolutely impossible to sleep so obediently holding the tea canister, and he will definitely try his best to hold a pot of tea.

The water that simply quenches thirst will not have any effect, but soaking Tieguanyin, at least ten times, boiling water, and pouring into the purple clay pot and teacup, will more or less produce some mist, and other places are fine, but in this cave, except for a few small holes, there are no other ventilation facilities, which will definitely have some impact on books.

"You kid is worthy of being proficient in antique appraisal, he knows so much, as for the Tieguanyin tea you brewed, it can't be drunk at all, say, what do you want to see today."

Wuzhen Dao Chang waved his hand and asked very magnificently, but in the end, he changed his words and said: "Of course, the most precious things in this must be approved by the kid Xuanji, and the old Tao can't be the master." ”

Chen Yi slandered in his heart, just now I saw that this old Taoist was very atmospheric, and I thought that I could read everything, who knew that it was a blank check, "Daoist, I have already read about the origin of Taoism, this time I want to see some Taoist classics, but it needs to be rare books, on the one hand, I can study Taoist culture, on the other hand, it can increase my experience of antiquities, I hope that Daoist can agree." ”

"Taoist classics, rare books, let me think about this." Enlightenment is a long way to say that it is difficult.

"Dao Chief, if it's embarrassing, forget it, I'd better find some modern ones to look at, at most, I'm in a bad mood, I can't make tea, it's no big deal." Chen Yi despised it in his heart, this enlightened true Taoist wanted to tease him, but there was no door.

For a tea-loving veteran, what does this extremely extraordinary tea mean, needless to say, I'm afraid that in addition to the usual Qing Xiu, this old way is only left with the hobby of drinking tea.

When he saw that Chen Yi was about to go towards the bookshelf, the Wuzhen Daoist suddenly jumped out of the platform, caught up with Chen Yi, and said with a straight face: "Chen Jushi is an important guest of my Sanqing Temple, what's the harm in watching some ancient and rare books, go, I'll take you there." ”

Chen Yi shook his head, this old way is pure and nothing to find excitement, it seems that he is used to being lonely here, "Then thank you for enlightening the true way, I will definitely invite you to go to taste tea again another day." ”

"Haha, Chen Jushi is polite." Wuzhen Daoist snorted, and then led Chen Yi to the front of the bookshelf in the fourth compartment.

In this library, there are many unopened stone walls, and there is a gap in the middle, which can only accommodate two people, and at the entrance of each compartment, there are Taoist priests, checking everyone's signs, in case some people mistakenly enter the place where they can't read the books.

"Chen boy, starting from this bookshelf, is the place to store rare books, in addition to some printed materials, there is no lack of calligraphy, it can be said that it is a collection of parts of the Taoist temples of various generations in Qingcheng Mountain in one room, here can be said to be the most important place where the old Taoist is located in the Longmen School of Qingcheng."

As he spoke, Daoist Wuzhen pointed to the back, "There are ten compartments in this entire study room, and the fourth compartment is a rare book from the Qing Dynasty and before, and the last two compartments are the places where the precious ancient books are stored. ”

Listening to the explanation of the enlightened Taoist, Chen Yi's heart was full of shock, ten compartments, a compartment has at least ten bookshelves, and these ten compartments are one hundred bookshelves, each bookshelf can store more than three hundred books is not a problem, this is about 30,000 books.

Ordinary libraries are only a few thousand to tens of thousands, even if some large libraries have more books than Sanqingguan, but the most important thing is not the number of books, but in these collections of Sanqingguan, there are a lot of rare books, even if there are not so many books on the shelves in the back few books, but according to Chen Yi's estimates, it is very possible to have more than 5,000 ancient books.

Needless to say, the preciousness of rare books and calligraphy may be easier to preserve because of the presence of rice paper, but most of these rare books are made of ordinary paper, which is extremely difficult to preserve.

"With this sign, except for the last two compartments, the remaining eight, you can watch it at will, even if it is He Wenzhi, you can only watch the first five, I hope you can cherish these ancient books and don't destroy them lightly." Then, Daoist Wuzhen handed Chen Yi a sign, and instructed with a solemn face.

Chen Yi nodded heavily, knowing what kind of trust the brand given by the Enlightened Daoist Master represented, which almost completely handed over the rare books in the back five compartments to him.

As for giving him the brand, it is because the guards in each compartment only recognize the cards and do not recognize the person, of course, the Enlightenment Truth Dao Chief, a person at the level of the Taishi Ancestor, is not within the limit.

"Enlightened Truth, I won't take your trust as a child's play." Chen Yi said with a firm gaze.

Wuzhen Daoist suddenly smiled, "Haha, I can rest assured with your words, in fact, it's nothing if you destroy it, it's a big deal to stay in the Taoist temple as a handyman for a few years, and make tea for a few years, Lao Dao really wants to do this." ”

After a few years of miscellaneous servitude, Chen Yi smiled bitterly, he really didn't dare to imagine this kind of life, the purity of this Taoist temple would be nothing for a while, but he didn't have it at all, but Hongchen, staying here for a few years, it would be strange if he wasn't crazy.

"Okay, look at what scares you kid, Lao Dao will go to sleep first, just go to me if you have something to do." Seeing Chen Yi's face, Wuzhen Dao Chang waved his hand and smiled.

Chen Yi looked at the rare books on the rows of bookshelves, and immediately stopped the Daoist Chief, "Daoist, can you ask how many rare books there are in your library." ”

"Well, according to the previous calculations, there are more than 25,000 books in this library in the view, and as for the rare books, there are about 9,000, except for the Baiyun Temple, the first Taoist view of our Longmen Sect, we have the most books, okay, there is nothing to do with the old Tao to go first." After a long thought, Wuzhen Dao said, and then saw that Chen Yi was fine, so he yawned and left slowly.

Chen Yi shook his head and smiled, this enlightenment of the truth is so profound, this sleep is estimated to be just pretending, he retracted his gaze, and put his eyes on this row of ancient books, more than 9,000 ancient books, Qingcheng Mountain Taoist Temple is not the largest in the name of Huaxia Taoist Temple, he once heard that the rare books in the Shaolin Temple Tibetan Scripture Pavilion are only more than 30,000 books.

Shaolin Temple and Qingcheng Mountain Taoist Temple which is more famous, this is obvious, Shaolin Temple is located in the Central Plains, is a world-famous Buddhist temple, is one of the ancestral courts of Zen Buddhism, and has the world's first temple said, compared with the Taoist temple of Qingcheng Mountain constantly changing sects, its collection of books is more abundant.

It is not easy for Chen Yi to come to the first bookshelf, the first row of bookshelves are basically some ancient printed Taoist cultural relics, and their value is much higher than the modern books outside.

Chen Yi roughly looked at the names of the ancient books on the bookshelf, most of them are basic Taoist classics such as the Tao Te Ching, carefully took out a book and looked at it gently, this book is very well preserved, only slightly yellowed, and looked at it, this Tao Te Ching, but it is the Inner House Engraved Book during the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, and the Inner House Engraved Book means that this is the palace supplies, presumably it should be a royal gift.

This Tao Te Ching, a set of two copies, is worth about 20,000 yuan, which is only the first row of bookshelves, and I am afraid that the value of those rare books copied by celebrities will be even higher. (To be continued......)
